Chapter 455: The Silent Assailant
These phantom lights coming from all directions blinded Annan's eyes, making Annan almost unable to see clearly.
This is also a type of "Fourth Yao".
When crossing the boundary, the phantom light in the slit of the world distorts the color of the eternal world, so the brain of a mortal cannot analyze this light with the previously established "color system".
In the slits filled with phantom light, there is only the "shade" of phantom light, but no color at all. Even the general shape of the face can't be seen... It is the limit to be able to tell that this is a person holding a cane-like stick.
Only relying on the distorted voice, Annan couldn't tell the identity of the opposite party at all.
But Annan can be sure of one thing.
At this time, the person who cut himself off from the teleportation ceremony... was undoubtedly malicious.
Annan narrowed his eyes slightly.
"...you should respect me.
"Because I have torn apart the light in the mirror and walked above destiny!"
As Annan chanted without warning, a bright light burst out from his body:
"I am the driver of the Celestial Chariot, the one who led six hundred stars to descend to the Great Hall of Merka Baha from bottom to top! I am the Celestial Chariot, and I will open all the gates of the Light Realm!
"I will open the triple gate: I will open the gate of the eye and the plastic, I will open the gate of goodness and abiding, I will open the gate of the worm and the cicada—"
Even Annan's pupils suddenly overflowed with an incomparably pure brilliance. His pure white long hair began to spread photochemically from its roots, turning into a floating tentacle-like flow of light, and four wings of light protruded from behind.
Compared with the previous white robe with bare shoulders and waist, this new elf-style white robe has been optimized a lot.
Annan's last dress was actually very convenient - Maria removed the fabric on the shoulders and both sides of the waist from that dress, which was just enough to accommodate the light wings.
The only problem is that when not fighting, you need to wear a cloak or shawl to cover your body...
Although Annan felt a little naked at first, it was better than being like the Hulk next door, who would burst his clothes every time he fought. So he thought about it and accepted it.
Sir Silver took into account Annan's special needs, but felt that the previous clothes were too revealing, so he directly remodeled Annan without asking Annan—in general, the coverage rate increased a lot.
Only the left arm that needs to be exposed to the light is exposed in the new white robe.
The back and waist, which seem to have a lot of fabric, have two folded structures similar to skirts. When the light wings protrude, they will automatically rise up, just enough to accommodate the light wings to unfold.
In this way, even if the light wings protrude, the skin will not be exposed at all.
Seeing Annan chanting "Ritual Spell: Scar of the Sky Chariot", the illusory figure opposite did not attack or flee.
He just leaned on a cane, watching all this quietly, making a low voice.
"Tianche...heh..."
The man sneered: "Is this the power you want?"
Those were low, cold words full of curses.
Just hearing it is enough to freeze the mind. Fear and despair are permeated in words, and the world can be changed without uttering mysterious languages such as "Frost Language" or "Dragon Language".
As if you've just chewed mint,
There will be a fragrance in the mouth; after smoking, there will be a smell of smoke on the lips.
Only those who have been chewing pain and despair slowly and painfully all year round can impregnate this despair into words.
Annan exhaled deeply, and clenched the three sirens in his hand.
After Annan completed actinization, his resistance to the elements of brilliance deepened. After gaining resistance to Fourth Yao, the disturbance from the phantom light completely disappeared.
His eyes, which were bursting with brilliance, were obviously no longer used to see things clearly—what Annan now used to receive visual data was not the eyes, but the wings of light behind him.
The light wing is like a signal tower, constantly collecting all kinds of light from the surroundings.
In the process, the surrounding horizon can also be signaled.
It is not limited to the eyes, and can only see a narrow area in front of it, but can clearly see the entire spherical range around it.
In this way, the identity of the person in front of him was immediately exposed.
It was the one who escaped from the Grand Duke's Mansion before——
"... Vladimir."
Annan murmured softly.
The winter defiant who was called out by Annan did not panic or be surprised.
Instead, he just smiled lightly, leaning on his cane with both hands calmly, looking at Annan quietly, without saying a word.
Vladimir, who believed in worms and transformed himself into a dream creature, did have the ability to interfere with teleportation.
Vladimir can freely walk through the cracks in the world. If he can know the specific time and location of Annan's teleportation in advance, he can indeed stop him directly.
Precise delivery is not safe transportation like airplanes or cars.
He is indeed a technical job, but the test is more on instinct than knowledge. To make a metaphor, in fact, the experience of the teleporter is closer to that of a self-balancing car, and problems may arise if one's mind wanders.
And the pressure will increase exponentially when carrying people.
It's like transporting many people in the form of a balancing car. Only a real old driver can take people to teleport for a long distance... unless someone picks up at the end of the teleportation.
In that case, the teleportation would become very simple—it was like using a self-retracting hook lock to hook the iron ring protruding from the wall. As long as the positioning is accurate, it can be teleported without any technology.
The teleportation used by the players is the latter.
The reason why Jacob the "hole opener" was selected by Annan because of his good skills and brought him with him is that he is a "balance car master".
With the sense of space and the map, he can directly teleport to a location that he has never been to and has no anchor point.
It's probably the kind of old driver who doesn't use satellite navigation maps, but glances at the map, knows the destination, and then drives directly to a city he has never been to, and still won't get lost.
And Vladimir, the winter defiant, just pulled Annan off this purposeless "manned balance car".
Annan suddenly realized something.
—The phalanx.
The phalanx left by Vladimir when he escaped last time is now stored in Jacob's ritual bag as a spell material!
On that phalanx, there may be some kind of positioning mark that Victor and Jacob didn't find... and it can penetrate the preservation ritual and be sensed by Vladimir.
I'm afraid it was that thing that drew Vladimir out!
Jacob must have realized something was wrong the first time...but he didn't stop.
His experience told him that it's better to go back and report to the messenger first - the person who can forcibly intercept Annan from the transmission process may just cause trouble for Annan if he stays here.
Moreover, he is running out of Yao Zhi Oil, if he delays for a while, he might not be able to go back...
It's better to go back quickly, find Salvatore to support a wave, and then rush back with people.
...But Annan hoped that he would call more people when he came back. For example, call both Maria and Victor—if he only brings Salvatore or Cafney back, it may be a teleportation.
The surrounding light flow gradually dissipated.
The world around them became clearer.
The terminated teleportation threw Annan and Vladimir directly to a certain wilderness.
"...Let me guess."
Annan's calm, triple-echoed voice sounded: "You should have found me at the very beginning. But you only acted now...
"Do you want to use my hand to eradicate Nicholas II?"
Vladimir narrowed his eyes slightly.
He remained silent and completely ignored Annan's inquiry.
Behind him, a tall, dark gray shadow gradually appeared.
It was a man with scars and fresh wounds all over his body, blood-soaked bandages tied around his eyes, ears and tongue cut off, a crazy human figure with eight recurved, deformed arms, and disheveled hair. It looks like a "tree" pieced together from the limbs of a madman... Four pairs of arms are raised up to the sky, as if they are welcoming something.
Its heart is a terrible sunken wound, inside a huge circular cavity is a dark red sphere like a heart, it is beating slowly.
—Vladimir's sublime falsehood.
A strong sense of crisis spread in Annan's heart.
In the next moment, Annan felt that the world around him was soaked in a dark gray full of despair in the blink of an eye. But he himself couldn't move - even the pure light was frozen in the air!
Without saying a word, Vladimir attacked Annan without warning!
